If you’re wandering through Athens, soaking up its energy, flavors and ancient charm, you may think you’ve tasted it all. But tucked into two of the city's most stylish neighborhoods lies a plant-based oasis that locals and visitors alike rave about: Wild Souls.
With not just one, but two locations—one in the historic Plaka/Syntagma district and another in the upscale Kolonakiquarter—Wild Souls has quickly become a favorite for design lovers, health food enthusiasts, and anyone craving delicious, conscious cuisine.
🥗 What is Wild Souls?
At its heart, Wild Souls is a vegan concept café and boutique brand centered around artisan nut butters, sustainable food, and conscious design. Everything here is made with care: from small-batch pistachio and almond butters to tahini-based smoothies, hearty bowls, and snackable pastries.
It’s a modern love letter to traditional Mediterranean ingredients—crafted ethically, served beautifully, and designed for mindful living.
🍴 A Vegan Menu to Fall in Love With
While known for their exceptional nut-based spreads, Wild Souls also serves up a small but creative menu of 100% plant-based meals—perfect for breakfast, brunch, or light lunch.
Here are some must-try dishes that get rave reviews:
⭐ Mexican Bowl
A colorful, flavorful mix of grains, guacamole, spiced beans, crunchy greens and a rich nut-butter-based dressing. Satisfying, clean, and full of plant power.
🍞 Truffle Toast with Hummus & Mushrooms
Grilled sourdough topped with creamy hummus, sautéed mushrooms, rocket and a drizzle of truffle oil. Umami-rich and comfortingly earthy.
🥣 Sexy Overnight Oats
Oats and quinoa soaked in almond milk, layered with fresh fruit and your choice of Wild Souls nut butter. A cult favorite for a reason.
🥑 Tempeh Avocado Sandwich
Protein-packed, spicy, creamy, and crunchy all at once. Served with cashew mayo on artisan bread—vegan brunch heaven.
🥤 Tahini Smoothie with Banana & Cinnamon
Velvety, naturally sweet, and deeply satisfying. A Wild Souls classic.
And yes, you can take home their full range of halva, nut butters, seed bars, and other clean, small-batch goodies.
🏠 Two Gorgeous Locations to Visit
Just steps from Syntagma Square and the Acropolis Museum, this location is perfect if you're sightseeing in the city center. Minimalist, earthy interiors and peaceful vibes—an ideal spot for a mid-morning break or healthy lunch.
Tucked into one of Athens' chicest neighborhoods, this branch is a bit more spacious and gallery-like. Perfect if you’re coming from Lycabettus Hill or a stroll through boutique-lined streets.
✨ Tip: Both cafés also offer a curated selection of home goods, ceramics, and food gifts—perfect souvenirs for food lovers.
🌿 Why It Stands Out
🥜 House-made nut butters & spreads (many available for sampling)
🌱 Fully vegan menu (only a few sweets contain honey—everything else is plant-based)
🧴 Sustainable packaging & zero-waste ethos
🎨 Scandinavian-Greek interior style—photogenic and calming
🧡 Genuine, friendly staff and fast, attentive service
📸 Instagrammable, but never superficial—this place is the real deal

✨ Final Thoughts: Nut Butter Meets Lifestyle
Whether you’re vegan, plant-curious, or just someone who appreciates well-made, honest food, Wild Souls is a must-visit while in Athens. With its emphasis on clean ingredients, Greek-grown nuts, and thoughtful design, it embodies the best of what modern Athens has to offer.
So next time you find yourself wandering around Plaka or Kolonaki, treat yourself to a nutty, soulful break.
